Drake mounts

Drakemounts are epic flying mounts available to players in a few different ways. Both Alliance and Horde can acquire these mounts. With the release of the Warlords of Draenor expansion, players are now able to earn a bonus drake as a reward for the achievement Awake the Drakes. This involves gathering several of the drakes from this list.

The Bronze Drake is a 100% drop from Infinite Corruptor in the Culling of Stratholme on heroic mode. But it only drops if you defeat the Corruptor within the 25 minute time limit. The timer begins as soon as you talk to Arthas, just inside the gates of Stratholme.

The Black Drake drops from Sartharion in the 10-man version of the Obsidian Sanctum and the Twilight Drake in the 25-man version. These drakes will only drop if all three of Sartharion's Twilight Drake lieutenants are still alive when you engage him.

The Azure Drake can be found inside Alexstrasza's Gift after defeating Malygos inside The Eye of Eternity in the 10-man or 25-man versions. There is no difference in drop rate between 10 and 25-man versions of the instance. The Blue Drake also has a chance to drop in the 10-man version of this raid.

This raid contains three separate drake mount drops, all of which have extremely low drop rates (less than 1%). Experiment 12-B is a drake of the Chromatic Dragonflight which is sometimes found in the "Lesser Cache of the Aspects" after defeating Ultraxion. It has a chance to drop in both normal and heroic difficulties. Reins of the Blazing Drake has a chance to drop after the Deathwing encounter on either heroic or normal, whereas the Life-Binder's Handmaiden has a chance to drop off Deathwing in heroic mode only.

The Sandstone Drake is a mount which can be created by alchemists who have found the rare [Vial of the Sands] recipe through Tol'virArchaeology. This is a unique mount among the drakes, as it transforms the player into a drake, allowing another player to ride as a passenger.
